The bottom row of the Sic Bo table is divided in six betting areas and these are used for the single number bets.

For example if the player bet on the number 2 and one dice rolled a number 1 and the other two dice rolled a number 2, the player is paid double the bet.
Two Number Combinations
Two number combinations are a bit harder to get but the odds are higher, being 6 to 1.The player makes the bet on a two number combination. For example, a bet may be places on a 2 and a 4, after the dice are rolled, and a 2 and a 4 show up the player wins six times the bet. With this type of bet it is only possible to win once, instead of three times as in a Single Number Bet.
